   Lovage is an easy-to-grow, robust and hardy relative of celery and parsley. You can grow it from seed or buy young plants. It’s happy in most soil conditions, needs little maintenance and suffers few problems. Lovage plants are perennial, dying down in late autumn then re-sprouting from the base every spring.
